Diversity

Message from the Chair

"Embracing diversity is not only crucial to Stanford, but also central to the character and culture of our department. Science has shown time and time again that bringing together diverse perspectives drives innovation and robust problem solving.

As leaders in Obstetrics and Gynecology, we value diversity within our faculty, trainees and staff.We know that building an inclusive body of thinkers, learners and providers will reflect the population of those we serve, ensuring care that is precise, empathic and compassionate. We also believe that doing so creates a community that has the capacity to offer truly creative and novel solutions to the most human of problems."

Serves to develop all faculty to their fullest potential as academic, clinical, and community leaders to promote the recruitment and retention of diverse faculty. Programs and initiatives influence the recruitment, retention and advancement of faculty.
